Snoqualmie Falls

On our way back from the volksmarch in Carnation we stopped to see Snoqualmie Falls.  The beautiful weather brought out tons of people and it took us a while to find parking, but the patience paid off.  The falls were not huge (we expected it to be higher with the torrential rains we had last week) but they were still very beautiful.  We hiked the half mile trail down to the river & back.  A half mile might not sound like much, but I think it was a surprise to many folks who thought it would be no big deal as they tromped up and down in ballet flats & high heeled boots.  Glad I had my tennis shoes on!  We did encounter some mud & parts of the trail were very steep.  We enjoyed the view of the falls from the platform as much as we could with all the people there.   We want to come back one of these days in the spring to see the falls a bit fuller & the crowds a bit smaller.  Definitely was worth going to, though.
